How shoud i take seroquel (quetiapine) xr used for insomnia? it doesn't seem to make me as sleepy as the regular seroquel (quetiapine)? take it earlier? full vs empty stomach?

Dual purpose?: Were you switched to the XR to better control your bipolar symptoms? It does make sense that you wouldn't be quite as sleepy with the XR formulation. You can try to take it earlier and it may help if it's on an empty stomach, but if this even doesn't help maybe talk to your doc about going back to the immediate release Seroquel (quetiapine) and trying something else for bipolar symptoms.
